Vincent stepped out of the car and looked up at the apartment building, its windows glowing under the starry sky.
Back after so long… but it feels like I'm finally home.
He entered the building, took the elevator, and headed upstairs. After punching in the password, he stepped inside the apartment and casually made his way to the kitchen, feeling thirsty.
Just as he reached the entrance, a woman wrapped in a bath towel—with her wet hair bundled up in another towel—was pulling out a water bottle.
"You never stop seducing me, do you?" he commented, making the woman jump in fright.
"What the hell?" Cathy gasped, placing a hand over her heart. She hadn't even realized when he'd entered the apartment. "What are you doing here?"
Ignoring her question, he walked over to the fridge and pulled out a water bottle. "Just because I was gone for a while, you seem to have forgotten I live here too."
"I thought you were gone for good," she said, stepping farther away from him.
